On May 15, Al-Alam TV broadcast a report on the opening of the third International Holocaust Cartoon Contest in Tehran. The exhibition features caricatures of Israeli PM Netanyahu, comparing him to Hitler and to ISIS terrorists. The organizer, Shojai Tabtabai, said that the exhibition was "a response to the publication of cartoons by the French Charlie Hebdo magazine, which affronted the Prophet Muhammad, as well as an expression of [our opposition] to the massacres perpetrated against the Palestinian people."

2. "a response to the publication of cartoons by the French Charlie Hebdo magazine"

The people at Charlie Hedbo were killed for publishing those cartoons.

Do the people drawing these cartoons fear that their lives will be endangered by doing so?

3. In response to Hebdo?

These repulsive "contests" were going on before the Hebdo massacre. And let's not forget that NOBODY was killed because of these repulsive cartoons. But these are the people we're being asked to trust - people that MURDER because of cartoons. Blech.
